based on the use of carbon capturing sequestration technologies you did not require that same technology for gas fired power plants. by requiring the coal units only aren't you applying a standard that is higher regarding the call of duty for carbon that is emitted? it sounds like this is not all of the above energy plan it singles out cold for punitive treatment. can this really be defended as a transparent and equitable application of the clean air act? i like the administration that you testified supports opportunities in natural gas and i support them also for the new coal-fired plants and coal to liquid. all the reasons the pa gives for declining to find the technologies to be the best system as the mission reduction for the gas-fired unit applied with equal force to the coal-fired units so why you require it. the answer to the question is to set up. the epa is under a consent decree to issue new source performance standards on greenhouse gases for the refineries in the near future but that also require implementing technologies that is unproven on a commercial scale? >> that seems
